A:The request could not be performed because of an I/O device error

Hi tzakuzi,

Welcome to Seven Forums.

A fundamental question: What made you to decide that you have a problem with corrupt master boot record? What was the effect of such " corrupt master boot record" that made you sit up and take any corrective measure?

I have searched here and googled this error, and while I have found similar, nothing that same as this.

I have been unable to update my Itunes, so after some research I realized it was the failure to update quicktime durring the Itunes update that was really happening. I have tried multiple things to fix this, all of which have been unsuccessful. Nothing would tell me why, just that quicktime failed to update.

My next step was to uninstall quicktime, this also failed with no reason why. So I attempted to Manually delete all quicktime files, and then run tuneup utilities to remove all registry entries. However when doing this I found I could delete all files, except the folder c:\Program Files\QuickTime\QTSystem\QuickTimeStreaming.Resources\de.lproj . When I try I get the below error messageCode:Cannot delete de.lproj: The request could not be performed because of an I/O device errorWhen I try to go into the directory de.lproj I receive the this error message.Code:

c:\Program Files\QuickTime\QTSystem\QuickTimeStreaming.Resources\de.lproj is not accessible.The request could not be performed because of an I/O device error.

I have tried doing it from a different user, I have tried from safe mode but just keep getting the same I/O device error. I have looked in the device manager and no errors there either. changing the permissions and ownership but am unable to do that as well. I have run a virus scan and rootkit scan with avg and a scan with Super Anti Spyware. All... Read more

A:The request could not be performed because of an I/O device error

hiya,maybe this could be of useIt sounds as though the file referred to in the error message is corrupt and Windows cannot read it.

Try running a disk check. If it finds and fixes errors, try reininstalling. If not it it doesn't work, go on to the next step.

The message from my effort to read and write to my floppy drive also said "A:/ not accessible." I assumed (correctly?) the drive was the input/output device.

I checked power and data cables: both tightly seated. I know the drive is getting power; the green light on front lights, though I don't suppose that is proof it's getting all the power it should or where it should.

I checked my BIOS in case that had somehow inactivated it. But my BIOS only listed the A drive-no options offered.

I went to Device Manager, deleted driver, rebooted. Problem continued.

I tried a different floppy drive, with the same results. And I tried read/write operations with 2 different floppies, with both drives.

I have a kingston 8GB microSD, i thought it was dead, but that was just my adapter, so now i have a new one. I am using a MicroSD -> SD -> SD USB reader.

When i stick it in, the device appears empty, i have to pull the MicroSD and SD adapter and reinsert them back into the USB reader for it to be recognized.After my computer recognizes it, If i go to my computer in windows explore, it lags for a while if i right click or double click on the drive. After that, i can't access it at all, a little while later (regardless of weather the SD lock is on or off) i get: M:\ is not accessible.

The request could not be performed because of an I/O device error.I have tried various formating utilities, some tend to crash, and i think the microSD has actually caused a couple BSOD's.

Im wondering if anybody has a solution, or some good format utilities to try. I am not to determined because it is an Asian (no offence!) brand, and they tend to not last long. I am also planning on replacing it with a 4gb version for better compatibility.

Running WinXP SP3, same thing seems to happen if I am on Win7, just without the error, explorer just kinda freezes if i try to access it, i haven't spent much time waiting.

EDIT:If it helps, DS lite's with M3's do recognize and allow me to load a few pictures i managed to get on before this started happening (a few days after i got it and before my SD adapter died), but if i try a game it just doesn't loa... Read more

Whatever you do, do not do anything that will cause a write action upon that pen drive until after the folders and files have been successfully copied off of that pen drive and onto an SSD or platter-driven hard-drive.

I recently did a clean install of W7 Professional. I installed W7 first on the SSD. Once the operating system was running I then proceeded to add the internal HDD (500G Seagate). Unfortunately the system just does not seem to recognise the HDD.

Device Manager:In Device Manager->Disk Drives:Drive 1: W7 sits on my 64G SSD and has the location 1 (1). Drive 2: The 2nd drive is an internal 500G HD that has the location 0 (0). The drop down box of Device Usage shows: "Use this device (enable)"

Disk ManagementI went to the Disk Management but:a) only the Disk 1 is showing b) it is does not appear to be seeing the 2nd disk

Computer ManagementI went into Computer Management and tried to enable the Disk. Unfortunately it has come up with "The request could ot be performed because of an I/O device error"

The HD is an intertnal HD with Sata connectors.

1) I changed the Sata ports but still no difference2) Windows says the drivers have loaded correctly and the device can be used3) I ran the Trouble Shooter but no issues were found.4)The same issues as above are occurring. Please see images below:

A:HDD Error: The request could not be performed because of an I/O device

Download and run Seatools in DOS mode from CD and see what this brings up! Sounds like a DOA HDD!! The issue isnt with it being recognised as it clearly is in device manager but it being written to hence the I/O error!

I've been currently using a 600gb SATA HDD for my OS etc and everything else. I decided to put in my other SATA 320gb HDD as I am going to need more space (Recording with my hd capture card takes up alot of space!). I put it into the HDD bay, plugged both the SATA cable and power cable into it. I turned on my PC and it read it and said it was set to go. I went into Computer Management to set it up and a window popped up saying I needed to initialize Disk 1 being the drive, so I clicked ok. It freezes for a second and then a small box pops up saying "The request could not be performed because of an I/O device error." Please help, I am very smart with computers for the main concept however HDDs are actually one of the only things I'm not very experienced with. Thanks guys! I appreciate any support. I am using Windows 7 64 bit OS in case that matters.

A:NEW HDD - The request could not be performed because of an I/O device error.

OK, first of all, we have no idea what you are working on. Post your exact system specs ie make and model of mb, cpu, amount of ram, etc. If this is a big box system, then post the make and model.

Have you rechecked/reseated both pw and data connections for the drive?

Have you tried a different sata cable and or a different sata port on the mb?

Did u get any solution for that ..becos i am also faincg the same problem..Please let me know once you get the remedy

I am looking for help. I have a Toshiba Satellite A105-s4164 Window XP SP 2 Media Center Edition purchased in August. Just last night I noticed that my (D) Drive which is my DVD-RAM Drive as it reads now is not working correctly. I can play DVD's but it does not recognize CD-R/RW CD's nor actual Audio CD (retail). I seem to think that at an earlier time the Drive use to read CD-R/RW drive. ??? Could it just be the setting? The DVD-RAM is a Matshita DVD-RAM UJ-841S.

I have gone through the forum and tried out all the suggestions I could find. Still the problem exist.

When attempting to copy files to a CD I recieve this message: The request could not be performed because of an I/O device error.

After going through all of the suggestions I could find I decided to do a full recovery (factory) and the problem is still there.

I have gone through Record Now! and Window Media Player using an Audio CD (retail) and I recieve the following message disk empty or drive busy. When I open the file nothing is there.

Please help. This is driving me bonkers.

Thanks in advance.

Even though it appears you're having the same problem, please start a new thread when you have a new issue. It's very difficult to keep two problems straight and who's working on what in a single thread.

If you've done a Factory Restore and the problem persists then the drive has physically failed. I think its time to use that warranty that came with the laptop.

I was trying to back-up a file to CD using the CD Writer on my computer when I kept getting the message: The request could not be performed because of an I/O device error. Does anyone know what this means and how I can correct this situation? Thanks in advance.

A:Solved: The request could not be performed because of an I/O device error.

After I startoff my computer from fresh and I go to Run via Start>Run and I insert a disk into the floppy drive A://, and I try opening the drive folder, I get an error message saying " A:// is not accessible. The request could not be performed because of an I/O device error." Then when I click OK and I try opening the folder again I get no error message. I only get the error message when I open the folder for the first time after the computer has been restarted. The second time I try without restarting the computer, works.

Why do I get the error message in the first place????????

Are you running SP1? If not, you should check to see if there is a BIOS update which corrects this, or some setting you can change through the CMOS Setup utility to modify the PromoteLimit Value your system uses as the CPU moves into a deeper idle state. You might have to disable that setting completely before you can resolve this, but we won't know that until you research it.

I am trying to backup server files to another computer on the network. However, I have run into a folder that has a a few thousand small images and every 20 or so image copy pops the error "Cannot Copy ****: The request could not be performed because of an I/O device error." Instead of doing a mass transfer of these image files I now have to try to copy the single file that pops up this error over and over again by drag n drop until the error goes away. I don't know what is causing it and I don't know why after about 5-10 min of repeated copying attempts it suddenly has no problem with the exact same file and another file suddenly can't be copied across the network in that folder.

Any ideas what is going on here?

I have already tried running repairs on the hard disks in question.

Look in the event viewer under computer management in the control panel. Click on sytem to see if you have any hard disk errors. You may also ahev a memory problem.

Hey guys, I posted a thread a while back. Once I rip my music into windows media player, what I would normally do is drag the mp3s into my mp3 player and they would copy over fine. Its not the case with Vista 64. It sometimes copys the first track of an album then comes up with Error 0x8007045D This request could not be performed because of an I/O device error.

Hi There,Am deleting a folder on my hard drive but the error "Request Cannot be performed because of an i/o device error".

This is how I can up with this error.

This file[folder] was copied from another machine to me machine. After sometime me machine started slowing down. Then it became so frequent. I did a scan using AVG but as soon as the scan reached this folder, it hang. I did a check disk with /f and /r attributes and it hang at this files/folder.

I removed the hard disk, slaved it on another [perfectly working] machine and seem to hand as well.

Please am sure someone out there has a get around. Please if you do, kindly appreciate your assist.

Well, I bought a new DVD drive yesterday and when I insert a disk it reads and I can browse through the discs contents but whenever I try to copy something it freezes for a few seconds and I can see the little light flashing violently on the device and when I get past that and try to put it on my desktop I get "Cannot copy XXXX. The request could not be performed because of an I/O error." I have tried using both cds and dvds, the oddest thing of this all is the drive allowed me to burn a CD, and this CD is working perfectly. My drive is called TSSTCorp CDDVDW SH-S222A in the device manager and the box for it says it is a RetailPlus+ DVD+/-RW.

I'm not sure if this should be posted here, since I guess that it is a systems failure issue. I am having some major issues with attempting to do a backup of all my system drives - all attempts have failed.What I have done so far;Tried to do a Windows backup from my laptop to a Passport external hard drive - first failure.Failed again when I tried another Windows backup, this time to an Imation external hard drive - second failure.Did an Administrator CHKDSK/R on the Laptop hard drives, and both external hard drives. All came up clean.Tried to do two more alternative backups using Macrium Reflect - both similarly failed.

After each failed backup, all attempts got messages similar to the following;

having trouble installing an Epson WF-2530 printer onto win 8.1 machines. i have 3 win 8.1/64 bit machines. it will install and is working on only one. used the same installation disc, and install process, and cables with all 3 machines. googling the problem shows plenty of stuff mainly updating drivers. done that, still no good.Not sure why it works on only one, a generic clevo laptop w550eu.thoughts??? the installation process stumbles when it asks you to connect the printer cable to the computer.

Was trying to plug my Toshiba 1tb External hard drive in to retrieve music off it and it wont recognize the drive. Device manager revealed the yellow triangle and error message. It works on my wifes hp streambook and also my kids stream book both are running wondows 10 like mine. I have tried nearly 10 different suggestions from google searches and have gotten nowhere. The only thing I couldnt try was turning off the usb in the power options, for some reason mine doesnt display that option. My notebook only has 1 usb port so I cant try a different port. Any suggestions or fixes?

I upgraded to Windows 10 a while back. Every time I open the computer I get a pop-up notification telling me the USB device is unrecognized. I have no USB devices in any of my 3 USB ports.
I sent my computer in twice. No help. They just uninstalled everything and reinstalled everything and told me it should be fixed. It is not. I then went about updating every driver in my Device Manager. I uninstalled the Unknown USB Device and then updated
other drivers. Certain drivers (such as PCI Express Root Port #3 - 9C14) when updating would also reinstall the Unknown USB Device, which I would then uninstall and keep working down the list. At the end of updating EVERYTHING I scanned for hardware changes
and "found" the Unknown USB Device.
From what I can tell, and I know very little about this stuff, my computer can't name one of my USB ports. Since it can't figure out what it's called it can't download the proper driver for it. Since it can't download the proper driver it can't work properly.
The practical result from this is that one of my three USB ports does nothing when I put in any USB item (connect my android phone, thumb drive, presentation clicker, etc).
I've looked on tons of forums. My current thought is that if I can tell my computer what the deice is or download the right driver and tell my computer to use that driver for this device it should solve my issue. But I don't know how to know what the name
of the USB port should be (I imagine it woul... Read more

hello guys in my device manager there is a yellow triangle on a usb device driver saying : a request for device descriptor request failed first i thought maybe 1 of my us ports not working but when i tested all ports are working even card reader but the error is still there i updated drivers (chipset - etc) but it didnt help so i want to know how to get rid of that error and what is the problem with my laptop?note: sometimes when i trun on my laptop that error is gone mysteriously and most of the times its showing up note: i recently changed my wireless adapter tho the orginial adapter was a bt/wifi combo but the new one is just a wifi adapter and i have an ssd installed instead of dvd optical drive and both are working wellnote: things i already tried: disabling fast boot-updating generic usb drivers-taking out battery for 5 minutes-updating drivers

hey, im having problems with plugging in my mouse to any USB port, this just started around an hour ago. ive checked on the brand's website which carried no complaints on problems like this with the same mouse. tried pretty much everything, even looking
it up on youtube and forums... Nothing has worked, worser still, i got it for christmas and its stopped working, ive looked though the device manager too. Please try and help me, if u can. I use Razer Naga Waith Red if that helps

thanks,

A:Windows has stopped this device because it has reported problems. (Code 43) A request for the USB device descriptor failed.

Hi onyx,
This error means a device driver notified the operating system that the device failed. This circumstance can occur if the device hardware fails or if the device driver fails.
Have you tried to update the device driver for test?
Please follow this guide trying t resolve this issue:

I was just working happily when my Microsoft Bluetooth Mouse just suddenly stopped working.The Bluetooth settings page says "Bluetooth is turned off" and there are no options on the settings page or the system tray to turn Bluetooth on.The Device Manager now has "Unknown USB device - device descriptor request failed" where it did not before.Other devices all seem to be working fine - USB devices plugged in are being recognized and work properly. Only BT seems to be broken.I've tried:uninstalling the device and rebootinginstalling the latest updated chipset drivers from the dell websitewindows updatespretty much all of the advice here: http ://troubleshooter.xyz/wiki/fix-usb-device-not-recognized-device-descriptor-request-failed

So in desperation I just went into BIOS settings to see if there are any BT settings that may have become disabled. I didn't see any, and I didn't change any other settings.After rebooting, BT and my mouse is now working again.Something seems to be really flaky here, but hopefully this will help others with the same issue.

Hello, ok so after recently doing a clean install of windows 10(please don't get me started on that mess). my system has been plagued by random usb drops. it's where everything connected via USB suddenly disconnects then reconnects out of the blue. well I was using a Rosewill Transenclosure RX200R-APU-25B USB 3.0 dual 2.5 hard drive enclosure and transferring files from one drive to another (connected via USB) when one of these drops occurred. Now whenever I plug in my hard drive enclosure in a windows warning pops up and says "the USB drive that was just connected Malfunctioned and could not be installed" and in system manager it says "Unknown USB device (device descriptor request failed)". I know it's not the hard drives because I can remove them and use another connection and they work fine, all files intact. It's just now my hard drive enclosure won't recognize. This also happened to a "Loot crate exclusive Game of Thrones stark sigil 4GB USB stick I plugged in and turned into a windows 10 install drive. When I plugged it into use it after the windows media creator said it was done the USB stick was raw and unformatable. Please help. Microsoft keeps telling me it's a hardware issue even though it happened on two different systems. both operating windows 10 never any issue with windows 7 or 8.1

I have a problem that bugs me for years, I never intentionally solved it, sometimes those errors disappears and all USB ports work fine, sometimes they do not. So anyone can help me please, it would be great.

Some of my ports do not work all the time, I cannot identify a specific moment. Inside the Device Manager, Universal Serial Bus controllers, I get 1, 2 or more "Unknown USB Device ( Device Descriptior Request Failed )", sometimes more sometimes less.

CPU: Intel Core i7 3770Motherboard: AsROCK H77 Pro4/MVPWindows 10 all available updates downloaded and installed as of today, and everyday. The problem appeared on Win 8 or 7, not sure when. So it's not necessarily Windows 10 specific. I ported it to 10. Here is what they look like:http://prntscr.com/d6rm6k

Bios is up to date. Chipset drivers updated, various solution tried from googling, I even managed to make all USB ports stop working testing some of these solutions, I had to restore windows from a ghost image I had.

It's like these USB ports remain suspended sometimes.

Any advice on what to try? The most annoying part is that from the frontal USB ports some stop working randomly too.

I know that a similar question has been asked before but, not with the last part of the message, (Device Descriptor Request Failed). I get this, in Device Manager, and I have searched for an answer on the net. Also it is a Code 43. I went through my laptop, with an HP Technician this morning, I might add at a cost of 5p/minute, for 30 odd minutes. He has said that because I had gone over to Windows 8.1 and the recovery discs I made will not load, to put back in Windows 8. I have to send the laptop back for re-installing the OS, because Windows 8.1 do not have the update for my problem. Also the R.H. USB socket has a failure ID:0GAPTK-6T7716-MFPWWK-8D1Q03. I personally think that this is all what the problem is. a duff USB. Is this a cop-out???My question is; has anyone heard of Windows 8.1 having driver WHQL problems?? Very.

Any/all ideas, appreciated.

ps, I only found out the problem with the usb when I tried to download a Mobi file to a Kindle for my wife. The other usb's work OK.

A:Unknown USB Device (Device Descriptor Request Failed)

Is there only one USB port on the right hand side? Sometimes manufacturers connect internal devices via an unused USB port internally. USB ports are usually in groups of two, seeing only one port is usually a sign that the wiring has been redirected internally to something else like a Bluetooth adapter or wifi adapter. It may even be a card reader or touchpad. Is anything like that not working? If it is start looking for a driver for it.

Can any help with this problem? Have a Pavilion G6 with no USB 3.0 as I am aware. USB (3 ports) not working.However, when the plugged the mobile, the mobile does get charged. Device Manager shows "Unknown USB Device (Device Descriptor Request Failed)". Running Windows 10 64 bit. Tried everything like uninstalling, updating etc as the information on the internet. Also, updated the drivers using Driver Easy but still getting the error. Any suggests, please? Thanks in advance. Sanil Sukumaran.

My computer keeps telling me Unknown USB Device (Device Descriptor Request Failed), so I looked up how to fix it and they told me to uninstall it then scan for hardware changes and it will reappear working properly. Only it did not come back working properly, it came back the same. I am also 98% sure that this "unknown USB device" is my built-in webcam that has never once worked. So if someone wants to help me out and allow me to use my webcam that would be great!

A:Unknown USB Device (Device Descriptor Request Failed)

Hi there, can you first tell us what is the Name and Model number of your system?

What OS are you running

im sorry if you already listed this, as I cannot see your specs from the Windows Forum App..

I have had the Microsoft Wireless 2000 Keyboard and mouse for 10 months and it has been working fine. But recently when I plugged it in I got an error message which said :The last USB Device you connected to this computer malfunctioned. and Windows does
not recognize it.
I opened Devices and Printers and it said Unknown USB Device (Device Descriptor Request Failed).

Now when i completed the installation, i connected it and i had this error:Windows has stopped this device because it has reported problems. (Code 43)A request for the USB device descriptor failed.I used slimdrivers to update all the other drivers, in case it was a conflict causing the error.I checked via command prompt with command "pnputil -e" and i saw a driver from the vendor of the device listed, so it is installed correctly i think.I tried all USB ports i have, 3.0 and 2.0 on one side of laptop and 2.0 on other side.

When on device manager, if i click update drivers and choose the "let me pick from a list of device drivers.." i don't see the company name of the device.

i saw that another guy posted a really similar problem on SevenForum and he figured out how to force windows to use the drivers but he didn't post the solution.. Here is the post: Can't get Windows 7 x64 to use the drivers I've installed repeatedly Solved - Windows 7 Help Forums

A:USB device not recognized. Device descriptor request faile

I am having the same exact problem as you, Cattanius. I couldn't get it to connect to my computer over 2 years ago and then just decided to try it the other day. I didn't expect anything to show up in device manager because I thought the usb port was fubar, but then I see the same message you got and all of the sudden there's hope! I hope.

Hello, I seem to be having an issue with my Thinkpad T470p. I've had it for about a year and a few months ago, all the 3 USB ports stopped working and so did the integrated camera. It would work at times and then stop working. For the past 2 weeks, everything has completely failed. So far I've done the following: -I've reset the BIOS to default settings and still there is no change.-The USB ports are enabled in BIOS settings as well. -Fast startup is diabled-The autosuspend for USB devices has been disabled in the power settings as well-All drivers have been updated using the Lenovo System Updates-This is a fresh install of Windows 10 so there is no previous state that I can go back to. (It wasn't working when I was running Ubuntu either even with all the right drivers installed.)-Troubleshooting cannot seem to find a fix for the error either One weird thing though is that my WD Elemnts HDD works fine when plugged in to any of the USB ports but other than that nothing else works. Any and all help will be much appreciated. My warranty expired just before these issues started so I don't really think I can get it repaired by Lenovo services.

Im running windows 10 on an HP laptop, 64 bit, and i just got a micro usb to usb device so i can transfer stuff onto my phone. It worked when i first got it but now it comes up with a Device Descriptor Request Failed and a Code 43 error. Ive tried updating
the drivers, restarting my laptop, and plugging it into different usb ports but it still comes up with the error. Any suggestions?

Hey1.)So my mouse(Corsair Harpoon RGB) was recently just working fine until one night i unplugged it and put it into computer and on that computer it didnt work so i went back to my laptop to plug it in there, but it showed the same problem it didnt respond the logo didn't light up so i went to the device manager and it said *title. So how do i fix this is there something with my mouse is there something with my software?Oh yea and on top of that i have 2 more issues that i jut can't solve by myself.

2.) Unknown USB-device(port reset failed)3.)DVD Drive(optical drive) doesnt show up on the device manager but it sounds like it's working and it opens and closes.4.)Front ports of my PC doesnt work if i plug an USB in it doesnt do anything (it does work perfectly in the back)

I don't know though if i should make more threads but they somewhat relate to each other,that's why they are just in 1 thread. If you need to ask any question, need pictures , my specifications or anything else just ask me.Thanks in advance!Best regards Hao.

After installing Windows 10 anniversary update, I get the following error in the device manger: Unknown USB Device (Device Descriptor Request Failed)

Any ideas?

A:Unknown USB Device (Device Descriptor Request Failed)

You can try going into device manager > select show hidden devices and delete all "inactive" usb device appearances. In my example below, there would be four. Once done, reboot and try your device again:

I'm pretty sure everything is working as should, you're good minus the minor annoyance if all device connected through the USB Hub is recognized by Windows; if you right click Properties on the yellow triangle it probably says "The Device is working properly".

I have an external Bluray/DVD drive (ODP1201=S3-B) that works perfectly on Windows 7 but is not recognised by my new laptop which has Windows 8.1 64 bit. Can anybody explain why this is and what I do to get pass it, or is this a problem with Windows 8.1?

The device is listed in Win 7 as "hp bd rom bc 5501h", and the driver is 6.1.7601.17514

I have now tried various USB devices; I have connected a USB 2.0 External Hard Drive and a USB 2.0 Canon Camera both of which work OK, I have also connected a Seagate 1T external drive which is USB 3.0 an that was OK as well (the ports are all USB 3.0 on the laptop hence the reference to the which USB type)

I have been advised that this error can arise when a drive doesn't receive enough power from the system. The device does have two USB connectors, I have tried using both of them. The power cable going to the powered USB on the laptop and the data going to the adjacent USB (there are a pair of USB sockets on either side of the laptop, the right hand side having the only powered socket).

A:Unknown USB Device - A request for the USB device descript

I'm too of opinion that it's a power issue. Laptops are not known to have much power thru USB ports, not even some desktops for that matter. Possible solutions: If that laptop has USB3 port you can try it in there, it gives more power and is compatible with USB2. Another one is to ad external power to the drive. One of the USB connectors on the twin cable has only two connection tabs and is for extra power to device. That one can be connected to universal USB charger for phones etc. That's how I solved a problem with a HDD in external enclosure.

i have acer e1-571 notebook.running windows 10.from last few days my pc giving this error-Currently, this hardware device is not connected to the computer. (Code 45)

To fix this problem, reconnect this hardware device to the computer.

I'm experiencing slim keyboard not being recognized in the Windows 8.1The keyboard was working fine until just one day it just stopped working.I tried factory reset literally 8 times along with most recent BIOS update and dell's recommended update software. + power setting --> disabling power saving on USBIt still come up as unrecognized each time even with fresh reinstall.I was wondering if this is a hardware issue or just software bug from factory reset.I don't think there is a available driver for this kind of problem is there?

Boot from the optical drive and see what WD's diagnostics program has to say about the drive. (WD's diagnostics program is the same for most of their products, so don't worry if the product on the d/l page doesn't match yours.)

If the drive seems to be only marginally healthy you may want to make sure you backup all data from it before running the tests.
